Chapter 89

Without asking Gu Qianghan further, Li Yuan first reported to his cultural class teacher, 'Teacher Chen,' and then came to Xu Bo's office.

The door was open.

"Teacher." Li Yuan shouted from the doorway.

"Back? Come in." Xu Bo was silently practicing his fist technique, covered in sweat. Seeing Li Yuan enter, he couldn't help but reveal a smile and slowly retracted his fists.

Li Yuan immediately picked up a towel from the rack to the side and handed it to Xu Bo.

"Are things at home all settled?" Xu Bo took the towel and smiled while wiping his sweat: "I've been busy these past few days. I heard your uncle's condition has stabilized, so I didn't go to see him."

"Thank you for your hard work that day, Teacher," Li Yuan said extremely solemnly: "If it weren't for your reminder, my uncle wouldn't have been sent back so quickly."

Li Yuan had already roughly understood the sequence of events.

On the afternoon of the day Base No. 3 was relieved, his uncle was transferred to Base No. 7, which was already considered an early transfer.

But Base No. 7 was also chaotic, so he wasn't arranged to be sent back to Jiangcheng City immediately until the Star Fire Martial Hall high-level officials inquired, and then he was quickly arranged.

Secondly, on the day of his uncle's surgery, Teacher Xu Bo was there the whole time and didn't leave until early the next morning.

Li Yuan kept all these things in his heart.

"You are my student; this is what I should do. There are many things I didn't really help with," Xu Bo smiled and said with emotion: "I basically know everything about your uncle's situation. Good people have their own heaven-sent luck; don't worry, he will wake up."

"Mm-hmm." Li Yuan nodded slightly and couldn't help but ask: "Teacher, do you know about Lin Lanyue's family situation?"

"Lin Lanyue?"

Xu Bo's movements paused, and he placed the towel aside: "Didn't her brother tell you? Didn't you ask Lin Lanyue?"

"I sent messages to Lin Lanyue on the night before last and yesterday morning to confirm, but she didn't reply," Li Yuan shook his head: "I only found out today after asking Gu Qianghan that she had already gone to Flying Star."

The virtual networks of Flying Star and Blue Star are not interconnected.

"Flying Star, huh?"

"No wonder she asked for long-term leave," Xu Bo looked at Li Yuan: "The person you saw that day should be her Big Brother. I believe with your cleverness, you should have guessed some of it."

Li Yuan nodded lightly.

Entrusted by someone, Brother Lin, plus what Gu Qianghan said... among the people he knew, only Lin Lanyue was possible.

It wasn't hard to guess.

"Her family is very special," Xu Bo said in a low voice: "I can only confirm one thing."

Li Yuan listened.

"Her father is a high-level official of the Starry Sky Martial Hall and has served as the Hall Master of the Guanshan Branch and the Jiangcheng Branch... He should be a Sky-Flying martial artist now," Xu Bo said.

"Sky-Flying martial artist?" Li Yuan felt a shock in his heart; he was surprised, but not too surprised.

Lin Lanyue's Big Brother, who could make Hall Master Lu Huai act like a subordinate, it was normal for his background to be huge.

"I don't know more than that," Xu Bo smiled: "The information about her family on school records is all fake, and Lin is also a common surname."

"Thank you, Teacher," Li Yuan said gratefully.

"Don't spread this matter outside either," Xu Bo instructed: "Sky-Flying martial artists, each one involves major issues... Just know it yourself, and don't tell your family either."

"Yes." Li Yuan nodded.

"Saving your uncle." Xu Bo pondered for a moment and looked at Li Yuan: "This favor is indeed very large, so large that you don't know what to use to repay it, right?"

Li Yuan revealed a bitter smile.

Li Yuan was indeed full of gratitude toward Lin Lanyue.

But it was also true that he didn't know how to face Lin Lanyue in his heart.

Xu Bo suddenly said: "Her Big Brother didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

"No." Li Yuan shook his head.

In fact, that 'Brother Lin' had a pretty good attitude; he didn't ask anything from beginning to end, and there was no condescension from a superior to a subordinate.

The interaction was very equal and very respectful of the wishes of Li Yuan's family.

"My advice to you is, don't think about repaying the favor for now," Xu Bo deliberated: "Because you can't repay it now; any help she needs is not something you can solve at your current level."

Li Yuan understood this in his heart.

"Lin Lanyue didn't take the initiative to tell you, so she must have had her own considerations," Xu Bo smiled.

"Her Big Brother's attitude also shows that helping you with this matter likely doesn't mean much to her family."

Li Yuan listened to his teacher's analysis.

The same amount of money or treasure has completely different meanings for people with different family backgrounds.

"If you really want to repay this favor in the future, then cultivate well," Xu Bo looked at Li Yuan.

"Sometimes, favors and troubles are the same; you feel it's too big to repay or solve, that's because your strength is too weak and the gap between you is too large."

Li Yuan's eyes moved.

His teacher's words cleared away most of the hesitation in his heart.

"If you were a Level 29 Yuan martial artist, then perhaps you could help Lin Lanyue with some things," Xu Bo said: "If you were a Sky-Flying martial artist, you would definitely be able to help."

"But you now? You can't help with anything," Xu Bo looked at Li Yuan.

Li Yuan nodded lightly: "The student understands, thank you, Teacher."

"You have already signed with Kunlun Martial Arts University."

Xu Bo instructed: "In life and work, one should have lofty aspirations, but one must be down-to-earth. For now, cultivate and study well, and first strive to get into Kunlun Martial Arts University."

"The April mock exam is not far off. You performed excellently in this Jiangbei Martial Arts University invitation event, and many people are paying attention to you, so perform well."

……

On the way back to his martial arts room, Li Yuan passed by Martial Arts Room 4001.

He subconsciously took a look.

This was Lin Lanyue's martial arts room. For the past half year, Li Yuan had passed by it almost every day, occasionally bumping into Lin Lanyue... but now this martial arts room was closed.

Returning to Martial Arts Room 4011.

"Whoosh!" Li Yuan took out his spear from the weapon cabinet again.

These past two days, he had been running back and forth between the hospital and home.

Except for occasionally practicing the "Great Sun Starry Sky Sutra" and basic cultivation methods, Li Yuan hadn't practiced spear techniques.

"Teacher is right."

"The current me, even if I really saw Lin Lanyue, what could I say?" Li Yuan murmured in his heart: "Say thank you?"

Verbal gratitude is sometimes very important, but often it has no substantial meaning.

"This time."

"Uncle encountered danger." Li Yuan gripped the spear with both hands.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The spear shadows changed and intertwined, terrifying force erupted, tearing through the air and producing a series of sharp whistling sounds.

Li Yuan silently perceived the operation of the force as the spear danced.

"Whether it's Senior Ji, Kunlun Martial Arts University, or the Star Fire Martial Hall, their willingness to help me is partly because of my uncle," Li Yuan's heart gradually calmed down: "But I'm afraid it's more because I showed a glimmer of hope of becoming a Sky-Flying martial artist during the Jiangbei Martial Arts University invitation event."

One's own value is the foundation.

"Then."

"Let yourself become stronger." Li Yuan's eyes gradually became firm: "If my strength were strong enough, if I had the strength of Yu Jinghe, then, the moment I received the news, I wouldn't have had to wait for the result; I could have completely tried to save my uncle myself."

"Completely able to master my own destiny."

"If my strength were even stronger, strong enough to reach the level of Senior Dongfang Ji, or even stronger!"

"Then, perhaps, the war in the Luo Bu Sea Star Realm wouldn't have even broken out."

"The whole country, and even the entire human civilization, countless people like my uncle wouldn't have to face life-threatening dangers, or even pay the price with their lives!" Li Yuan thought more and more clearly, and the long spear in his hand moved faster and faster.

He recalled every word his uncle said when he was nearly dying the day before yesterday.

"I don't regret it..."

No regrets!

His uncle going to the Luo Bu Sea Star Realm front line was indeed to get more money so his family could live better... but his uncle also had the heart of a hero.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Li Yuan thought more and more clearly.

His uncle's matter was like a spiritual baptism for Li Yuan, making his heart stronger and purer.

Martial arts is the path of killing.

But martial arts are determined by the heart, and how far one can go on the martial path is often determined by the heart.

Along with the changes in his heart, the long spear in Li Yuan's hand seemed to be infected, becoming faster and faster.

One spear after another!

One move after another!

"Wrong! Wrong!"

"My spear needs to be faster."

"And it can be steadier." Li Yuan murmured in his heart, practicing the basic spear moves over and over, attempting to use the Starry Sky Spear Technique to mobilize more of the power hidden in his body.

Ten times!

Fifty times!

One hundred times! Li Yuan gradually became immersed in it, and gradually, his spear technique became faster.

His heart and soul perceived his body more and more clearly in the dark.

Finally, it was as if at some critical threshold.

"Boom!" The long spear in Li Yuan's hand seemed to have a life of its own, suddenly erupting and becoming even more terrifying.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" The spear light flickered like an arc, vast and mighty, and vaguely, it was as if a huge star was rolling, possessing a brilliant and invincible momentum.

It was like the impact of a galaxy, one layer higher than the next, one wave higher than the next, constantly overlapping until it was unstoppable!

This scene.

If Xu Bo had seen it, he would definitely have recognized it at a glance.

What Li Yuan was performing right now was the second move of the five major killing moves of the Starry Sky Spear Technique—"Galaxy Falling Waterfall."

【Your spear technique realm has increased from Fourth Stage 5% to 18%】

【Your fist technique realm has increased from Fourth Stage 7% to 20%】

【Your movement technique realm has increased from Fourth Stage 2% to 13%】

Three consecutive prompts appeared in the lower-left corner of the Divine Palace panel.

However.

Li Yuan, immersed in his spear technique, didn't notice at all.

……

This practice lasted for a full hour before Li Yuan finally woke up completely.

"Galaxy Falling Waterfall?" Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, and countless insights from practicing the spear just now flooded his mind.

The second move of the five Starry Sky moves, he had suddenly realized it just like that?

You know.

It had been less than half a month since he realized the first move.

"Spear technique Fourth Stage 18%, fist technique Fourth Stage 20%?" Li Yuan also noticed the three reminders in the Divine Palace panel, and his heart was even more shocked.

Fourth Stage technique, every 1% increase is much more difficult than in the Third Stage.

And he had increased by over 10% in just one hour?

"Could it be."

"Is this the spiritual epiphany Teacher Xu Bo mentioned?" Li Yuan thought thoughtfully, while also carefully feeling the changes in the combination of his heart and body.

The unity of body and mind will gradually make the body erupt with more terrifying power.

The improvement of technique will also make the body's evolution speed constantly accelerate.

"It seems."

"I won't have to wait until around the college entrance exam; very soon, I will be able to reach 300 points in the Meteor Stage."

……

Days passed, and Li Yuan's life gradually returned to calm.

Although his uncle hadn't woken up yet, as if he were a vegetable.

But his physical condition was constantly improving.

This, whether for Li Yuan or for the whole family, was already an extremely good result.

March 22nd, afternoon, inside Martial Arts Room 4011.

Suddenly.

"Master, there are multiple arrival notifications." The intelligent assistant's voice suddenly sounded.

"The money has arrived?" Li Yuan put down his spear and stepped forward to check.

"Your account ending in 1486 has received 3,600,000.00 Blue Star coins..."

"Your account ending in 1486 has received 2,000,000.00 Blue Star coins..."

"Your account ending in 1486 has received 1,000,000.00 Blue Star coins..."

"Your account ending in 1486 has received 1,000,000.00 Blue Star coins..."
